June 28, 2018Solution to Book of Woo revealed!

Today Novil revealed the original English text of the Book of Woo and explained the encryption process.

June 25, 2018 — mi tawa

With today's filler comic Novil gave the biggest hint so far that the Book of Woo makes use of the artificial language "Toki Pona". The user ratfox already uploaded a transliteration of the text in this language, derived by simple substitution from nneonneo's transliteration which was already amazingly close to the real thing. He later also added a word-by-word translation to English. Now it seems we're almost done! It only remains to reconstruct the story from this simplified version. There are several online translators for Toki Pona available if you want to try translating it yourself. -- Narga (talk)

March 08, 2018 — Missing a few entries?

I just realized that the time of the backup from which this new wiki was created was probably a few months before the actual shutdown of the old wiki. So a few of the latest contributions to the old wiki might have been lost. If you contributed or remember anything that is now missing, please add it again. -- Narga (talk)

Novil's recent link to the wiki has brought some new contributors (welcome!) but also a bunch of spammers. I've gone through and deleted/blocked a bunch of spam users/edits from the past couple of days, and will be adding additional countermeasures over the next few days. I tried to be fairly careful, but if you find anything that was deleted/blocked which shouldn't have been, please let me know. -- Foogod
